WaterLily 12V FAQs

Question 1 - What is WaterLily 12V? Who is it designed for?

The WaterLily 12V is designed for users who want to power more than just small personal devices. It packs the same great HydroElectric Charge System as our USB Turbine, but with regulated 14.6V output. This is ideal for larger power stations, or even lead acids found on sailboats and RVs.

Question 2 - What kind of connector will WaterLily 12V ship with?

WaterLily 12V ships with a 2-pin SAE connector. We wanted to make sure that our system is as universal as possible for our 12V customers, and the SAE connector is a great choice for this while also leaving flexibility for our DIY customers. We’ve also included a Car Accessory adapter (SAE J563) with each unit to make this even easier.

Question 3 - How much bigger is it going to be than the current USB WaterLily?

Our customers have told us that they love the portability of our USB WaterLily, and we didn’t want to sacrifice this with the 12V. With this in mind, we’re happy to say that we’ve kept WaterLily 12V at the same dimensions as the current version - 7 inches in diameter and 3 inches in depth.

Question 4 - Can I daisy chain WaterLily 12V?

Yes! One of the great things about WaterLily 12V is that you can chain the turbine with other devices to harness even more power for your power stations. You can even chain together multiple WaterLilys to supercharge your charge rate. We’ll be sharing more details on this in the coming weeks.

Question 5 - When can I order? When can I get mine?

WaterLily 12V will be available for order on October 5th, with units shipping to our first customers on October 22nd. Email subscribers will be the first ones notified when orders go live.

Meant to add that no more propane or isopro bottles. Can use this weight allowance for water Lilly, a small rechargeable power station and solar panel. You have air, water, and solar covered for your power needs.

Can’t wait for the new version. Plan is to use the usb version to power goal zero lights at night and use the 12v to recharge all other devices when moving camp daily. No brainer it’s the way to go when in an extended stay camp/cabin in an austere environment. Thanks guys for the expanded capabilities and the many options it provides.
